How much is a life worth?
When you stare down the barrel of a gun
Does it vary by place of birth?
Do you have to be loved by someone?
Maybe money decides
Or a great personality
How much is it worth your life?
Maybe wisdom is the key
Do you have to make a mark
Maybe discover something new?
To keep that beat in your heart
For your life to have more value?
Maybe if you are beautiful
Your life is worth much more
Or really funny, never dull
You´re more valuable for sure
Maybe if you're a parent
Or you have a product that sells
Maybe if you have years well spent
You're worth more than someone else
Maybe if you believe in something
Or give money to charity
Maybe if you're the son of a king
They'll let you go free
Maybe if you have honour and fame
Or many hopes and dreams
Death might miss its aim
And see how much your life means
How much is a life worth?
How many tears do you need?
For someone to miss your presence on earth
For a whole world to grieve
How will they know your someone?
and not just a name on a list
Someone's daughter, someone´s son
Someone who will be missed
